Casual / low-key food Cafe Noto Russian River Brewing Company – Windsor A fun option for beer lovers and casual food. Sonoma Umé Japanese Bistro A nice mid-range dinner option in Windsor. Patio as well Things to do / outdoor spots Riverfront Regional Park Since the wedding is there, it is worth mentioning as an outing too — the park has a 2-mile Lake Trail around Lake Benoist, a short spur to the Russian River, and the Redwood Hill Trail through a grove of coast redwoods. Foothill Regional Park A great Windsor-area nature option with easier to more challenging trails, ponds, oak woodlands, and ridge-top views of northern Sonoma County. Shiloh Ranch Regional Park It has nearly 8 miles of trails and sweeping views of the Santa Rosa Plain. Windsor Town Green / Downtown Windsor The center of town, with shops, restaurants, tasting rooms, and frequent community events. It’s a nice place to stroll, grab a drink, or hang out for an hour or two.
